Safety note
WARNING
Work performed incorrectly on the vehicle
paintwork can cause the radar sensors to fail or
malfunction, resulting in a safety risk. There is a
danger of accidents or damage to property. For
vehicles with radar sensors, only have paint‐
work or paint repairs on the bumpers carried
out by a Service Partner of the manufacturer or
another qualified Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.
Matt paintwork
Only use cleaning and care products that are
suitable for vehicles with matt paintwork.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather at regular intervals
with a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Dust and road dirt will otherwise become worked
into pores and folds, causing considerable abra‐
sion and causing the leather surface to become
prematurely brittle.
In order to protect against discolouration, for ex‐
ample from clothing, clean and care for the
leather approximately every two months.
Clean light-coloured leather more frequently as it
has the tendency to soil faster.
Use leather cleaner, otherwise dirt and grease
will attack the protective coating of the leather.
Care of upholstery fabrics
General
Regularly clean the upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner.
In the event of heavy soiling, for example stains
caused by drinks, use a soft sponge or a lint-free
microfibre cloth with suitable interior cleaning
agents.
Clean the upholstery down to the seams using
wide wiping actions. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Safety note
NOTE
Open Velcro fasteners on articles of clothing
can damage the seat covers. There is a danger
of damage to property. Make sure that any Vel‐
cro fasteners on your clothing are closed.
Care of special parts
Light alloy wheels
When cleaning the wheels while they are instal‐
led on the vehicle, only use neutral rim cleaner
with a pH value of between 5 and 9. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners or steam cleaners above
60 ℃/140 ℉. Observe the manufacturer's in‐
structions.
Corrosive, acidic or alkaline cleaners may destroy
the protective layer of neighbouring parts, such
as brake discs, for example.
After cleaning, briefly apply the brakes to dry
them. The heat generated by braking dries the
brake discs and brake pads, and protects them
against corrosion.
Chrome surfaces
Carefully clean parts such as the radiator grille
and door handles with plenty of water to which a
shampoo may be added, particularly if exposed
to road salt.
Rubber parts
The surfaces of rubber parts can be contamina‐
ted or lose their shine due to environmental influ‐
ences. Only use water and suitable care prod‐
ucts for cleaning.
Rubber parts subjected to high wear and tear
should be treated regularly with rubber care
products. Do not use any silicone-based care
products for treating rubber seals, otherwise
